If you are wondering what those numbers are above, that is the percentage of a "poor FO's" salary would be spent on tips in a year assuming 10-13 overnights a month. "I cant afford to tip" for the most part is a face saving cover for "I suck at life, and dont want to tip"
.0105 percent would be about 3 dollars a year to a 30,000 a year pilot. I tip way better than that.
But if you mean 1.05 percent, that would be similar to Union dues, or half of an average company's 401k matching. Tell a pilot his dues will double or tell him the company will stop matching 401k contributions and watch him blow a gasket. But pilots that don't tip that much just suck at life? It must be nice to have it all figured out.
